Customer Reviews

Brain teasing fun.

I couldn't put it down, I finished the book in two weeks. But trust me, it gets a bit difficult near the end. Worth it!!!

Quick fix for the addict

It's an insane craze, or a mindless waste of time - everyone seems to love it or hate it. This is an enjoyable set of 150 puzzles of graded difficulty, ranging up to two oversized 12x12 offerings. A brief introduction traces the puzzle's murky history, and another offers the basics of solution strategy. It's just the basics, though. You'll need a lot more than that intro to get through even the "Light and Easy" section of the book (the first half) - the barest beginners might dispute that "easy" claim. So enjoy it, if it's the kind of thing you enjoy. It's fun, challenging, a test of wits, and won't get the neighbors talking about you. //wiredweird

From the Board Games Editor at BellaOnline.com

150 puzzles for five bucks... not a bad deal. These puzzles are light and easy, great for coffee-breaks or subway rides. They're printed small, which can be problematic for more difficult puzzles (it's hard to write in "possibles" and difficult to erase without accidentally erasing other numbers), but since the puzzles are relatively easy, you won't be needing to write in "possibles" anyway. All-in-all, this is a nice little book which will fit in most purses or briefcases and make for a great diversion when you have nothing else to do.
